    I only have 17 felonies, 8 DUI's & 12 at fault accidents in the past 3 years. Can someone recommend a company that would hire me?.. I got my CDL from a reputable school! FB_IMG_1711109888313.jpg

    i too was terminated at 2.5 months in .in my case i was trying to get in to a yard witch had their truck entrance sign completely cover by tall grass and i was trying to make a turn i would never of tried to make long story short because of trying to avoid catching a low hanging wire with my trailer i ended up getting to close to an electric pole and pulled it down with my trailer and because of that one thing i was terminated . and the company that did that was TransAm trucking . i wish i know how bad they really were before i signed on with them because they have to have the highest turn over rate in the trucking industry. and so now almost 2 yrs later i still cant find work in the trucking industry because i need to get 6 months of good driving with a comercial driving job in witch i dont know how to get that if all the companies require that its almost like a termination is the same as being black listed . so i hoping somone on here might be able to give me some guidence or direct to some compaines that will give me a second chance . and thank you in advance for any help given

    I went through orientation at PTL with a guy who said his previous company fired him because the camera caught him on his phone while driving. Granted, that's not as serious as an incident, but it shows some flexibility.
